My soul clings to the dust;
Give me life according to your word!
When I told of my ways, you answered me;
Teach me your statutes!
Make me understand the way of your precepts,
And I will meditate on your wondrous works.
My soul melts away for sorrow;
Strengthen me according to your word!
Put false ways far from me
And graciously teach me your law!
I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me.
I cling to your testimonies, O LORD;
Let me not be put to shame!
I will run in the way of your commandments
When you enlarge my heart! (Psalm 119:25-32 ESV)

And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, "He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." And they glorified God because of me. (Galatians 1:22-24 ESV)

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. (Galatians 1:6-7 ESV)
